How to get a monkey (aka 1 year old) to sit still for more than 30 seconds....

The answer - give her a banana and then a back massage (Thank you Mimi for the best Christmas present ever). Notice the drool on the pillow. Nice. She was so relaxed....could've laid there for an hour...we are taking it everywhere with us. Just a banana, back massager, binky, blankie, our favorite shoes and any piece of random trash and we are SET!!

Santa Claus is coming to town.....to see US!!

This was at my sister's Christmas party last weekend. This was Carlee's first time on Santa's lap...might be the last. My niece, Corynn, didn't care to much for him either! Vanna didn't mind because she was getting a gift - we had to pay Cayden. All in all - I got my pictures....Merry Christmas!!

Isn't that cute????

Ok.....this is the ONLY picture that you will ever see of me like this. Someone thought they were pretty funny with the camera! Like mother, like daughter......yes, this is pretty much exactly what I look like with my clothes off...somehow it's so much cuter when we are 1 years old. Ok - maybe not that many rolls, but close!

Super - I mean "Pooper Man"....

There's a story behind this...when Vanna was little...we - yes, her and I, used to tie blankets on like capes and then run around with our arms straight out behind us holding our capes up...Vanna couldn't say "Superman" - it just came out "Pooperman". So, Vanna is determined that Carlee is going to say "Pooperman". We are still working on that - but, she seems to have the cape part down...we'll keep you posted....it's quite funny to watch.

Christmas dresses are DONE!!!

I got in my head that I could make these fabulous little pettiskirts that are sold on the internet for $90+. So, I set out determined to finish them for Christmas....16 hours later...they were done. I know why they are $90. If anyone wants me to make them one - I will for $1,000.00. Actually, I was THRILLED that they turned out - I was really worried about messing them up. My girls love them - they just twirl twirl twirl...here are some modeling pictures for you! Enjoy..... :)
